NEW DELHI (AP) — His social media accounts suggest that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is launching high-speed trains and rubbing shoulders with foreign leaders as a powerhouse on the global stage and the face of an ascendant India.

But that carefully crafted image, followed by millions, sits uncomfortably at odds with his silence on what’s come close to a civil war engulfing India’s northeastern state of Manipur.

Because the opposition makes it so easy. Still clinging to power rather than stepping aside and letting a new generation of non Gandhis take the helm. RG has been reappointed as MP. Now wait for the annual ‘I’m quitting, no we reject your quitting’ ceremony.

BJP has proved that if you remove the Gandhis from INC it will be reduced to just another BJP, a corporate slut, riding on fascism, selling the country to cronies funding their elections. People who want the Gandhis out are just asking for BJP's long wet dream to come true.

All BJP has proven is that if the opposition is not good, they will feel no pressure to change their tactics. Let's keep the gandhis for another 100 years and help BJP build the fourth reich in India.

Who is they? I'm personally blaming the gandhis because people don't want them in power anymore, but they still cling on to the party leadership. As long as they are there, inc will only help bjp become more powerful. Does the country owe anything to this family anymore? Anybody who deserved any respect have long been rolling in their graves.

I am talking about ruling party here, BJP. They blame every thing bad to be previous govt's faults.

They fear their comparison with Gandhis so much that they are hell bent on discrediting them of any thing good happened to India in their rule.

It's not INC helping BJP getting more powerful but the electoral bonds and current state of media landscape in country.
